Growing up in Indonesia , we ate a lot of fried rice , my grandma used to make this big batch of fried rice for breakfast , and then she would call my mom or my aunts , then words would spread . &#8221; grandma is making fried rice , come over for breakfast &#8221; So , we usually stopped by , because grandma made big batch of fried rice . But that was Indonesian Chinese Fried Rice ..<\/p>\n<p>What i am posting here is Thai Fried Rice , they&#8217;re slightly different than the fried rice that i grew up with . It has been bugging my mind for quite some time , ever since we lived in Kansas about 7 years ago , and made our first trip to Thai restaurant . Jay ordered spicy fried rice , and it was really good . The color isn&#8217;t as rich as indonesian fried rice , and all i can think of .. that they probably just use soy sauce .. i never thought that they used\u00a0 Fish sauce !!! But then again .. don&#8217;t they use fish sauce a lot in thai food ? \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>I was supposed to use thai basil .. if i had made this dish back in my house in Indiana .. i would have been able to add the thai basil , that i grew in my garden , but i couldn&#8217;t find any in any stores over here , i settled with italian basil just for a decoration .Just so you know , when you mix the sauce , it&#8217;s not going to smell good , because of the fish sauce has a very pungent smell . If you are okay with that smell then that&#8217;s great , if it bothers you , like it does to me , add sesame oil at the end of cooking , it helps to eliminate the pungent smell of fish sauce .<\/p>\n<p><strong>The recipe : <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>2 chicken thighs \/ or 1 chicken breast , boneless , cut in strips<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 onion , thinly slice<\/p>\n<p>1 red bell pepper , thinly slice<\/p>\n<p>lots of bird&#8217;s eye chilis , i used about 10<\/p>\n<p>10 garlic cloves<\/p>\n<p>5 tbsp. of oyster sauce<\/p>\n<p>3 tbsp. of fish sauce<\/p>\n<p>2-3 tbsp. of soy sauce<\/p>\n<p>1 1\/2 tsp. of sugar<\/p>\n<p>sesame oil<\/p>\n<p>sesame seed for decorations<\/p>\n<p>thai basil<\/p>\n<p>about 5 cups of rice ( day old would be best choice )<\/p>\n<p>1. In a small bowl , mix sugar , oyster sauce and fish sauce .<\/p>\n<p>2. In a wok , heat 1-2 tbsp. of vegetable oil \/ canola oil , saute minced garlic and chopped pepper , for a minute , then add the bell pepper , onion , chicken , cook until the chicken is half way done , then add the sauce in . Cook again until chicken is totally done .<\/p>\n<p>3. Add the rice , stir well , then add soy sauce , keep stirring or else it&#8217;ll be burnt , cook until it&#8217;s mixed well and warm .Add few drops of sesame oil . Sesame oil helps to omit the fish sauce smell .\u00a0 Serve , sprinkle with sesame seed .<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/thai-fried-rice.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1751\" title=\"thai fried rice\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/thai-fried-rice-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/thai-fried-rice-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/thai-fried-rice.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to cook spicy thai fried rice , super easy and delicious ! f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":1751,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,7],"tags":[44],"class_list":["post-1750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food-main-dishes","category-main-dishes-recipes","tag-fried-rice"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1750"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1750\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1752,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1750\/revisions\/1752"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
